Make Over Your Diet and Change Your Life Video

If you've decided now's the time to lose some weight, Good Housekeeping nutritionist, Delia Hammock, has some ideas to eat healthier without missing those extra calories. </p> <p>It's hard to go wrong in the produce aisle. There's just so many different things with so few calories and high in nutrition but to get the most benefits, you should go for as many different colors as you can find. That way, you get the benefit of all those phytonutrients. Health authorities recommend that every one eat at least 2 servings a week of fish, especially the fatty fish that are high in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Chances are both you and your family would benefit from having more dairy and more milk in your diet but there's no need to buy whole milk because it has saturated fat that you don't need. Instead, get one of the lower-fat products right on down to skim milk which is zero fat. </p> <p>And Good Housekeeping's food director, Susan Westmoreland, has easy meals to help you eat healthier. </p> <p>If you're making something like a stew or a stir fry, just change the balance of meat and vegetables. Double up on the vegetables and you'll get lots of phytonutrients and vitamins in your diet. I love this vegetable stew recipe that we're doing tonight because it has a little bit of Moroccan flavor, it's just got some cumin, it's got garbanzo beans and some leaf vegetables, carrots, parsnips, so it has a slight sweetness to it with all those vegetables. Really delicious. You can serve it with couscous or brown rice or just some bread. </p> <p>And Good Housekeeping website's Constant Dieter Blog has tips from one woman in a daily battle with her scale. I'm Elizabeth Maguire for Good Housekeeping Reports.
